Story 3

                       Sophia and the injured prince

Once upon a time, there was a young woman named Sophia who lived in a small village at the base of a mountain. Sophia was known throughout the village for her kind and gentle spirit, as well as her unparalleled beauty.

One day, while Sophia was wandering through the forest, she came across a young man who was lost and injured. His name was Jacob and he was a prince from a far-off kingdom. Sophia took pity on him and brought him back to her village, where she nursed him back to health.

As Jacob convalesced, he and Sophia grew close. Jacob was struck by Sophia's beauty, but even more by her kind and loving heart. Sophia, for her part, was drawn to Jacob's intelligence and sense of humor. They spent their days talking and laughing together, and before long they realized that they had fallen deeply in love.

But their happiness was not meant to be. Jacob's father, the king, had arranged for him to marry a princess from a neighboring kingdom as part of a political alliance. Jacob was torn between his love for Sophia and his duty to his kingdom.

In the end, Jacob decided that he must leave Sophia and return to his kingdom to fulfill his duty as a prince. Sophia was heartbroken, but she knew that Jacob's duty was more important than her own happiness.

Years passed and Sophia lived a quiet life in her village, always remembering Jacob but never forgetting her duty to her village. One day a group of traveler came with news of Jacob, he is now the king, Sophia's village was in danger and only he could save it. Jacob hearing of this immediately rode towards Sophia's village, but he didn't came alone, he brought an army and marched towards the village, saved it and in the process reunited with Sophia.

This time, Jacob knew that he could not leave Sophia behind again. He asked her to marry him and she accepted with joy in her heart. They lived happily ever after, with Sophia by his side as queen and the love of his life.

The story teaches us that true love is selfless, it is the willingness to put the needs of the one you love before your own. It also teaches us that duty and love can coexist and that even when things seem impossible, love will always find a way.
